Gnoleba Seri Esq. - Air date: 08-05-08 Gnoleba Seri, Esq. President & CEO of the ACCUS Welcome to the African Chamber of Commerce in the United States website. In 2005, several dedicated African professionals and African leaders realized the enormous potential of the African Business community in the United States and decided to create a national organization to represent its interests before the public and private sectors. The purpose in creating The African Chamber of Commerce is to serve, advocate and promote African-owned businesses which have been voiceless and powerless for too long. While many would debate the need to create such a structure, it is our deep conviction that by aiding the African Business community it would strongly grow and develop, thereby allowing African business owners to have access to business and financial opportunities. Currently, African businesses are not striving because they act independent towards one another. The result is lack of economic power. The African Chamber of Commerce in the United States has therefore been founded to correct old ways of doing business and to forge the unity of all African businesspeople that they will have their voice heard. The African Chamber inspires to becoming both; an instrument that helps African businesses within and without the United States to navigate through the maze of United States and African States governmental regulations; also a power that will provide the African business community with information, opportunities, resourceful exigencies within, between and among the business machinations of the United States and the continent of Africa. Now is the time. Let us not hesitate on the path to secure financial and business opportunities. Let us lead all Africa businesses within and without the United States to greater success with the help of the African Chamber of Commerce in the United States.

His PhD thesis showed how the science of control and communication in the animal and the machine could be extended to organisations to create a science of governance as presented in his articles. His thesis built upon his education as an electrical engineer in Tasmania, BSc from the University of Melbourne and an MBA from Harvard. From 1966 to 1974 he was a founding partner in a private group that gained control of over a dozen publicly traded corporations in Australia. This gave him experience as a controlling shareholder, company director, chairman of one company, and CEO of two others. As a serial entrepreneur founding new enterprises, some of which became publicly traded, he gained further experience as a Chairman and CEO. He also became joint CEO/owner of a mutual fund management company. In 1975 he founded the first educational course in the world to provide an educational qualification for company directors and published his first book on Democratising the Wealth of Nations. The novel ideas in his book led to consulting assignments for multi-national corporations, United Nations, World Bank, and governments, including in 1991 the Peoples Republic of China and Czechoslovakia. Since 2001 he has been rating the governance of the largest 100 organisations in Australia by turnover and introduced an MBA elective at Macquarie University on evaluating and designing the governance architecture of organisations in the government, non-profit and private sectors.

Colia Liddell Lafayette Clark - Air date: 07-24-08 Colia Liddell Lafayette Clark NAACP, SCLC, 1959-70, Mississippi, Alabama Current Residence: PO Box 273 Glen Olden, PA 19036 Email: shestarts@aol.com Phone: 267-241-7092 Let me start by saying that these internet sites expect well prepared statements on the spot. This is very much like the fight for basic civil rights in the Southern USA in the 1950's and 60's. Be ye therefore ready because you don't know what the white folk might bring. Between 1959 and 1970, I spent pretty much full time working on civil rights and human rights causes. The major work being concentrated on the removal of those seemingly ancient symbols of subordination that marked the southern terrain and the struggle for the simple rights to vote. My career started with NAACP at Tougaloo College and move rapidly to special assistant to Medgar W. Evers, field secretary for the NAACP. I am the founder and first president of the North Jackson NAACP Youth Council which is now infamous for initiating the 1963 mass movement at Jackson under the leadership and guidance of Medgar Evers and our advisor, John Salter. Many other adult leaders of North Jackson were involved in helping to shape the course and program of this small band of students and youth. The North Jackson NAACP Youth Council needs a major biography and a calling together of all the young men and women and the old ones who made this organization the center point of a major struggle for which most of the young people involved have not been given any credit. Anyone interested please call me at 610-532-1817. In June 1962, I resigned my job with the NAACP and joined with Mississippi SNCC under the leadership of Robert P. Moses. We worked in Jackson, Hattiesburg (Forest County), Sun Flower County, Greeville on projects that were directed towards helping local Mississippians get registered to vote. One has to know that it is near impossible to work in a rural state under the feet of oppression and not work on related issues of the peoples. In November, 1962, I met and married my first love, Bernard LaFayette, Jr., SNCC Field Secretary. In February, 1963 Bernard and I moved to Selma AL, where he served as director of the SNCC Black Belt Alabama Voter Project and I continued as SNCC field secretary. The project was headquartered at Selma but we had responsibility for developing voter registration and direct action projects in the seven Black Belt Counties. While at Selma, I was appointed by James Forman, executive secretary of SNCC, to assist with the Birmingham, Alabama Movement under the leadership of Dr. Martin L. King. It was in Birmingham that I took one of the worst beatings of my career in the civil rights struggle. Three fire houses assaulted me for what seemed forever on May 8, 1963. In 1964, I was privileged to be a part of the birth of the Southern Organizing Committee at Nashville, Tennessee where Bernard and I were attending school at Fisk and giving birth to our first son, James Arthur. Nashville was the culminating point for the early years of civil rights in the South. Beyond lie Chicago, New York and national politics. By early 1973, I returned to my home state Mississippi and worked on a number of other projects including the editorship of the Jackson, Mississippi Advocate. Today I recollect experiences of anti war, racism, Diallo, reparations, workers rights and the battle to end the Africa debt along with that of all of Central and South America. This work has taken me into the international arena where I think the progressive forces and especially the Black forces in the USA must centralize future struggles. These struggles around issues of imperialism, colonization, capitalism, racism, environmentalism, anti-woman, anti-youth, anti-age, anti-human struggles must be internationalized as a part of the struggles of other world groups and issues. It is important that the struggle of the African in the USA be removed from domestic servitude to international leadership-human at last. I speak all over the place having just returned from Algeria where I participated in a Parliamentary two day conference on the "devastation of Africa its causes and dimensions, why and what can be done about it."

Robert Wussler & Robert Johnson - Original Air: March 1980 Robert Wussler & Robert Johnson Robert J. Wussler's instinct for innovation has consistently transformed television. Throughout his illustrious career, he has wrought groundbreaking advancements in commercial, cable, and satellite television. He is now president and chief executive officer of Ted Turner Documentaries and Ted Turner Pictures. During his 21 years at CBS, Wussler quickly moved from the mailroom to become the youngest president of the network. As executive producer of CBS News - where he oversaw special projects including election coverage and man landing on the moon - Wussler gained prominence as an industry innovator and leader, from his early use of miniature cameras to his calm control room demeanor as Walter Cronkite' producer. As president of CBS Sports, he essentially invented the genre of pre-game telecasts with "NFL Today," hiring Brent Musburger, Irv Cross, Jimmy the Greek Snyder and Phyllis George. In 1980 Wussler joined Ted Turner as a co-founder of CNN. Writing of the decade in which they transformed the news and cable business, Turner said, "I couldn't have done it without Wussler." Wussler helped enfranchise Turner Broadcasting as a major power by acquiring high-profile sports and entertainment properties including the NBA, the NFL, the Goodwill Games and exclusive movie packages. For almost 10 years he oversaw the growth of SuperStation TBS as its president and, in 1988, was instrumental in the founding of TNT. From 1989 to 1992, Wussler was president and CEO of COMSAT Video Enterprises, supervising rapid growth in on-demand videos in hotels. While there, he also managed the acquisition of the Denver Nuggets, serving as managing general partner. Following several international entrepreneurial ventures, including Metromedia's European television distribution businesses, Wussler became president and CEO of ABC Affiliate Enterprises, the new media and marketing arm of more than 100 ABC television affiliates. In addition to heading Ted Turner Documentaries, Wussler also serves as president and chief executive officer of Ted Turner Pictures, a newly created company that develops theatrical motion pictures and television documentaries on current and historical issues. Ted Turner Pictures released the theatrical motion picture "Gods and Generals" nationwide in late February 2003 through Warner Bros. theatrical distribution. Mr. Wussler has received six national Emmy awards, in addition to the prestigious NATAS Trustees Award, presented in the past to such recognized leaders as David Sarnoff, William S. Paley, and Ted Turner. Robert L. Johnson is the founder, chairman and CEO of Black Entertainment Television (BET). He is also the majority owner of the the Charlotte Bobcats of the National Basketball Association. Johnson grew up in Illinois and earned a graduate degree in international affairs from Princeton University. In the early 1970s Johnson found himself in Washington, D.C. during the early expansion of cable television. After a few years as a lobbyist for the National Cable & Telecommunications Association, Johnson borrowed money to start his own cable brand, BET. Launched in 1980, it was profitable within five years. In the early '90s BET became the first African-American-controlled company to be traded publicly on the New York Stock Exchange. In 1998 Johnson bought it back and then sold it to Viacom, pocketing a reported $1.5 billion himself and retaining his position as chairman and CEO. Since then Johnson has continued to expand and diversify the BET brand, and in 2003 he became the owner of a new National Basketball Association franchise, the Charlotte Bobcats.

His fiery, poignant, always soulful, singing style has remained unique and ageless since he first emerged from the Greenwich Village folk scene in the early 1960's. It's a voice that has inspired and electrified audiences from the Woodstock Music & Arts Fair in 1969, to the Clinton Presidential Inauguration in 1993-coming full circle with the 30th Woodstock Anniversary celebration, "A Day In The Garden", in 1999. Kevin Sanders Kevin has spent his professional life in international broadcasting and journalism reporting in TV, radio, newspapers and magazines on politics, culture, science and finance. As Fox TV News commentator he presents progressive perspectives on world affairs. As anchor and founding parliamentary bureau chief of the Nine TV Network in Australia, Sanders was described by the country's leading political commentator, Alan Reid as "One of the few journalists who can recognize instantly the true political dynamics of any situation, whether it be a Georgetown cocktail party or an African Kraal." His hosting of the live CNN coverage of the NASA shuttle missions won the Space Club Press Award, an honor shared over the years by Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite. Sanders' CNN reports on alternative energy sources won the National Engineers' Award for Broadcasting Excellence. A later series of articles he wrote on the subject for Science Digest - including the first report on a new energy producing metal, Nitinol - were translated and republished by Japan Times in their annual selection of the world's best science reports. His widely republished 1990 article "A Beginner's Guide to the BNL-BCCI Bank Scandal" was chosen by Project Censored as one of the top twenty stories of the year. It was later selected by Utne Reader Magazine as one of the top ten stories of the past ten years. Sanders' cover story for Whole Earth Review, "Age of Transparency" on the political implications of earth observation satellites was later anthologized with essays by William James, John F. Kennedy and Arthur C. Clark in the book, Securing Our Planet. Sanders has also written for The Nation, Futurist, Current, Horizons, Penthouse, Politiks, and newspapers and journals in USA, Europe, Japan and Australia.

The program was highly praised by the New York Times and is available on Pacific Video In 1996 Sanders was the only journalist to cover the entire proceedings of the World Court hearings in the Hague on the legality of nuclear weapons. He later wrote, produced and hosted the Globalvision documentary on the hearings, The People vs The Bomb shown on PBS in New York and on national TV in Canada and Australia. In 1998 at Cambridge University in Britain he was the only journalist to cover the proceedings of The Planetary Interest conference. Sanders has become increasingly active in NGO broadcast outreach at the United Nation. In 1997 as Chairman of the Earth Society Foundation, founded by Margaret Mead, Sanders hosted the first ever live webcast from the United Nations of the Earth Day Peace Bell Ceremony. At the ceremony Sanders proposed creating a C-Span of the UN - a continuing project.

John Anthony Gilvey Ph.D - Air date: 07-22-08 JOHN ANTHONY GILVEY, a graduate of New York University's Doctoral Program in Educational Theatre, also holds degrees from Villanova and De Sales Universities. He is a professor of theater and speech at St. Joseph's College, New York. As a boy in Philadelphia, it seemed the biggest new hit musicals, like Bye Bye Birdie and Carnival, had one thing in common—they were directed and choreographed by Gower Champion. When a new duplex movie theatre opened in our neighborhood with a re-release of MGM's 1951 Show Boat some 12 years after its debut, the name Champion caught my attention once more as I watched Gower and Marge dance spectacularly. At 15 when my teachers stuck me in the chorus of our high school's production of Bye Bye Birdie, there was Gower's name on the script. Soon Ginger Rogers arrived at the Forrest Theater in the national tour of Hello, Dolly!, and I finally got to see first hand what the prolific Mr. Champion had done to generate all the "Dolly-mania" then sweeping the country. The show was breathtaking; a kaleidoscopic wonder of color and movement as touching as it was dazzling. How and why did you start working on this book? Part of the book is from an earlier work, Gower Champion as Director: An Analysis of His Craft in Four Broadway Musicals, 1961-1968, my dissertation for New York University published in 1995. The study covered Champion's productions of Carnival, Hello, Dolly!, I Do! I Do!, and The Happy Time. Research began in 1990 after I realized very little had been written about him and his musicals. This was surprising... ...to me considering that he was the most artistically and commercially successful director-choreographer of the 1960s. After finishing the dissertation and receiving my PhD, I wanted to tell the story of Gower and his musicals. Before the Parade Passes By is the fulfillment of that wish. What is particularly significant about Before the Parade Passes By? Until now, no popular biography or critical assessment of Gower Champion's work has been written. What literature there is has been either academic (Gower Champion: Dance and the American Musical Theatre by David Payne-Carter [Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1999]) or anthological (Broadway, The Golden Years: Jerome Robbins and the Great Choreographer-Directors, 1940 to the Present by Robert Emmet Long [New York: Continuum, 2001]). In light of this, the significance of Before the Parade Passes By is especially important. Through the waning days of vaudeville, the post-war era of glittering nightclubs, Hollywood musicals and early television, and finally, the golden age and decline of the Broadway musical, Before the Parade Passes By is a compelling voyage with one of America's greatest showmen and a remarkable study of the craft that streamlined today's musicals. It not only brings to life the story of Gower Champion, but also defines the essence of his craft and his contributions to the musical. Furthermore, the book serves as a window on a particular time in the history of American culture using one artist's life to show how the musical has become what it is today. What qualifies you to write about Gower Champion and his musicals? Four Champion musicals—Carnival (1961), Hello, Dolly! (1964), I Do! I Do! (1966), and The Happy Time (1968)—were subjects of the dissertation I composed for my Doctoral Degree in Educational Theatre from New York University. Gower Champion as Director: An Analysis of His Craft in Four Broadway Musicals, 1961-1968 (New York U., 1995. Ann Arbor, UMI 1996, 9701496) is considered to be the definitive work on these shows by many of the performers, songwriters, and designers I interviewed who worked on them. My research comprises over 50 personal interviews with Gower Champion's family, friends and colleagues (including Marge Champion, Jerry Orbach, and Carol Channing), in-depth study of his director's scripts from the Special Collections Division of the Research Library at the University of California, Los Angeles, and the private collection of Karla Champion, scrapbooks from the private collections of Jeanne Tyler and Marge Champion, and files, film and video about him and his productions found in the Billy Rose Theatre Collection of the Performing Arts Division of the New York Public Library at Lincoln Center. My personal collection also contains over 100 photographs spanning his career.

Rodney Shakespeare - Original air date: 10-08-01 Rodney Shakespeare studied at Cambridge (UK) where he obtained a MA in History. Subsequently, he qualified both as a teacher and a barrister (UK lawyer) and worked in education and business. He is co-author of Binary\ Economics - the new paradigm (which is the standard text book on the subject). Binary economics uses state-issued interest-free money to ensure that, over time, on market principles, everybody (including children) eventually comes to own a substantial capital estate producing an independent income. Rodney, however, has recently co-authored Seven Steps to Justice which provides the intellectual and moral basis of the burgeoning global justice movement. The new thinking is capable of being implemented in Islamic countries, for example, just as easily as in "Western" ones. Go to the new website at www.globaljusticemovement.net where you can find out what is happening and please indicate support by joining as a supporter - it costs nothing! Rodney is a tutor and binary economist (Binary Economics - the new paradigm, Robert Ashford & Rodney Shakespeare). He lives in London (UK) and, with Canon Peter Challen, is near to completing a new book entitled Seven Steps to Justice, making a global response to the events of 11th September, 2001 and, in particular, the causes of those events. The book also aims to unite all individuals and groups who understand monetary reform. Email: rodney.shakespeare1@btopenworld.com -- Rodney Shakespeare is a UK tutor, binary economist and Visiting Professor at Trisakti University, Jakarta, Indonesia. A Cambridge MA and Barrister of the Middle Temple, he is co-author of three books the new paradigm; and Seven Steps toincluding Binary Economics Justice; and he wrote the Foreword for The Islamic World-System.

Andrew Charles Yanoviak & Peter Meisen - Air date: 07-08-08 Andrew Charles Yanoviak & Peter Meisen Andrew Charles Yanoviak, AIA, is an environmental and codes specialist in Honolulu and a long-time advocate of the AIA. Yanoviak served on the national AIA Steering Committee for Building Performance and Regulations and has testified at ICC, UBC, BOCA, SBCCI, and CABO hearings. He is the president of Environmental Systems Planning & Design Consultants......On the Buckminster Fuller Challenge: I'm all for it. I just hope I have time to work on it. I have had several ideas already that I've passed over and it's amazing the research materials I have in my files on the World Game and also trim tab, and I've had quite a bit of correspondence with Bucky. I do plan [on submitting for the challenge]. I have until the end of October. I hope I can do it because time is marching on rapidly and I'm involved in so many other things. It needs to be done. It's a great concept. Friendship with Bucky: Every time Bucky was coming out here, his secretary Miss [Shirley] Sharkey would get in touch with me and let me know, and I would have a few minutes with Bucky at the Honolulu Airport or wherever was possible, so that's the way it worked. Bucky was a great architect, although many architects don't recognize him as such. He was a beautiful thinker, always working. He wore three watches back in those days: one for where he was, one for where he was going, and one for where he came from. At the Honolulu Airport one time he told me, "Andrew, I'm going to take a little nap." The first time it happened I was really shook up. He said, "It's going to last around five minutes. You'll think I'm dead. Do not disturb me. I need to rest." And then he tells me: "When I wake up, I don't want to hear anything about anything we've been talking about. I only want to know three things: where I am, what time my next flight is, and what gate I go to. I don't want to hear anything else from you. I'll judge if I have enough time to talk to you." But he was a great person. & Peter Meisen is a graduate (1976) of the University of California at San Diego with an Applied Mechanics and Engineering Sciences Degree. In 1986 he founded GENI, a non-profit research educational institute to explore global solutions for peace and sustainable development. His focus is on the premier strategy of linking electrical networks between countries and continents, with an emphasis on tapping renewable energy resources. In 1983, Meisen co-founded SHARE (Self Help and Resource Exchange), a large private, self-help food distribution program in the United States. Internationally, there are rural development programs in Mexico and Guatemala, using the strategies of micro-credit lending, community organizing and family health and nutrition. ________________________________________ Endorsements "I support with enthusiasm your initiative. While directing the Foreign Affairs of Egypt, between 1977-1991, I have advocated the integration of the electricity grids of all the African countries of the Nile River using the Nile as the infrastructure of this project. I believe, as you do, that electricity must be at the service of peace and international co-operation." Boutros Boutros-Ghali, Former Secretary General, United Nations "The most thoughtful and scientific solution to the world's problems I've ever seen." Ron Williams, Senior Research Director, General Motors "The program for a World Energy Grid deserves the attention and full support of individuals and groups throughout the globe concerned with creating a culture of peace based on genuine sustainable development. It's a practical vision and significant contribution to the movement for a just world order." Dr. Saul Mendlovitz, Dag Hammarskjold Professor of Peace at Rutgers University "The GENI initiative fits right into the more and more interdependent world. Globalization is about a more and more borderless world and the need to respond globally to the needs of mankind. To preserve our common base, the Earth, we need to join forces to generate electricity as environmentally friendly as possible. This is crucial and therefore GENI deserves support."
